Anna Chlumsky welcomes daughter Penelope Joan

Congratulations to Veep star Anna Chlumsky and hubby Shaun So on the birth of their first child, a daughter, the couple named Penelope Joan on July 11.

The My Girl actress was nursing her newborn in the hospital last week when she learned of her Best Supporting actress Emmy nomination for her role in the HBO series.

“I’m still in shock. When I got the call I wasn’t sleeping because I was breastfeeding my daughter,” Chlumsky told People magazine. “It was neat because it was me and my husband and my daughter all in the room getting the news at the same time. When [my manager] told me, it was that nervous, happy, appreciative laughter. I just laughed a lot! It feels really great to have your work noticed.”
